This coffee is produced by Brayan Alvear at Finca Las Palmas in the Huila region of Colombia at 1600 meters altitude. It is a Caturra variety processed using a unique watermelon co-ferment washed method, involving controlled fermentation with a mother culture and watermelon. The flavor profile is playful and sweet, characterized by notes of watermelon jolly rancher and peach soda, with a light and effervescent body.
